I finished the birthday card. It is a simple card but fun. I found the mechanics for the card on YouTube called "Marvelous Magical Marquee Card Tutorial" Size: A2

When you open the card a window opens to reveal a message.

Cut four pieces

add the tape& decorate.

What I used:

• Fiskars paper trimmer,
• Martha Stewart (MS) Monarch butterfly Large #42-30002,
• MS Craft 3 in 1 #M283036,
• MS Traditional scallop edge #42-40010 punches, 
• EK Success Circle cutter, 
• EK Success 2" Circle scallop,  

          I didn't use a square punch like in the video, I used the paper trimmer instead.

• Jewels from dollar bin,
• Pens-Pilot G-1 UG1M-BRZBBC &Sakura Gelly Roll Clear star (my favorite pen)
• Terrifically Tacky Tape and Zipdry glue.

That's is for now. Thanks for stopping by. Please leave a comment if you have any questions.

In the works...

My sister's birthday is Wednesday the 19th.
I'm trying to come up with birthday card idea. She likes butterflies and sparkly things.

Follow-up Cards of Hope

A quick follow-up on the Breast Cancer Survivors card drive. Here is a link to the news article.

I saw a close-up of the Dragonfly love card and a sentiment. It really makes me feel good to know that cards I made, gave people hope and brighten their day. I feel very honored to be able to help.

World Card Making Day

The Cricut Blog is having a contest. I am submitting a Mermaid card.

For this A2 card I used my Cricut Expression with Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge, colored with Perfect Pearls & Distress Ink, the Seahorses are inked using VersaMark & Inkadinkado stamp 60-30154 Summer assortment, Heart are ZingZ sticker accents from Fiskars, and Faux Pearls by ?. sorry.

Also this card has an AWI's action wobbler. So cute. I do have video but I'm not sure how to post video. I will as so as i figure it out.

Okay, Thanks again. Until next time.
